Gracia Imboden at the studio in August. We went in with a handful of references and no real plan, mixing hard and soft light and going darker and moodier than our usual headshot work. taken in Financial District, Manhattan by @davidpexton

My muse returned from L.A., and @tozr and I spent several hours in the studio exploring new looks; this is just one of those sets. Victoria was visiting to promote a short film titled “Disc,” a 14-minute piece directed by Blake Winston and co-written by Victoria that deals with an awkward crisis in a hotel room following a work-conference hookup. (Haven’t we all?) It recently played at the NYC Film Festival, and I personally thought it was the best movie of the night.  Swipe to see more!! taken in New York, New York by @davidpexton

Spent an afternoon at our downtown studio with Lizzy, working through her first round of actor headshots, and left with a set that runs from warm and open to quiet and intense. @christinereneemiller brought the best out of her with her direction too, but honestly the camera loved her and the stillness she brought along was quite lovely. taken in New York, New York by @davidpexton

Meet @fantaratty (Fanta Ballo), poet laureate of the human spirit. We first met when I took her headshot at @wilkesu where she’s currently studying for an MFA in Poetry. Since then, I’ve been following her on Instagram and witnessing her poetry on the socials and more recently when she performed in Brooklyn for “The Life of a Poet” Tour: New York Finale at @STAYME7O Studio.

@christinereneemiller says: “Witnessing Fanta spin poetry on stage is like going to church. You raise your hands and say AMEN to her slams.” 
I couldn’t agree more. Fanta is fearless on the mic; she speaks with conviction about race, queerness, and politics without reaching for the obvious clichés. She was also recently interviewed on @cbsmornings where she spoke about the inspiration for her writing and her message to young writers.

Here are some photos of us on an unusually hot and sunny day in May with her book ‘For All The Things I Never Got To Say’, which she self-published at 19 years old. Oh, and not only that, Fanta has her own clothing line, Ratty Reach, which she donned for the shoot! taken in New York City by @davidpexton

Back in February. New York’s winter had been brutal. But this day wasn’t, quite. One of those that hovers around freezing without ever properly committing. Which compared to some of the other days felt mildly warm.

So @malayalimaharani and I walked East Williamsburg and Bushwick for a couple of hours, using the leftover snow as a backdrop, a playground, some shutters in the graffitied areas of Brooklyn’s many industrial backdrops. Love the way her personality and clothes pop against the humdrum and overcast environment by @davidpexton

You may know him as ‘Dollar’ Bill from Billions, Pastor Tim from The Americans, or Andy Roeser from Clipped, but we know him as Kelly AuCoin.

Board member, advocate for learning disabilities and @kulturecity, theater nerd, and just a genuinely good human. @christinereneemiller loved taking some fresh headshots while having a great laugh in the process.
